Are There Drug Rehabs That Accept Insurance In Florida?

The short answer: yes! There are drug rehabs that accept insurance in Florida but…it’s not an automatic given that the drug rehab will accept insurance, and if it does, there’s no guarantee that it will accept a particular insurance plan. Also, not all insurance policies are the same and insurance coverage varies based on individual policies. That’s why it’s so important to check with your insurance provider to see what your plan covers and if the drug rehab accepts your insurance plan. We’ll explain what you need to know about insurance covering drug rehab and what we accept – as well as options for those who don’t have insurance.

Know What Your Insurance Does (And Doesn’t) Cover

Before you start researching drug rehabs in Florida, the first thing you should do is review your insurance plan. Here are some things to look for when determining if your insurance will cover rehab.

• Does the plan cover behavioral health services? “Behavioral health” refers to the scientific study of the emotions, behaviors, and biology relating to a person’s mental well-being, their ability to function in everyday life, and their concept of self. The term encompasses all contributions to mental wellness including substances and their abuse, behavior, habits, and other external forces.

• What type of insurance plan is it? Two popular types of insurance plans are the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). An HMO gives you access to certain doctors and hospitals within its network of providers that have agreed to lower their rates for plan members whereas PPO plans provide more flexibility when picking a doctor or hospital but typically at a higher price tag. Although PPO plans also feature a network of providers, there are fewer restrictions on seeing non-network providers. Having an HMO while seeking out-of-network drug rehabs can be challenging since you may be forced to pay out of pocket.

• If the plan is an HMO, are there exceptions to going out-of-network? Sometimes, an HMO plan will cover out-of-network PPO providers (we know, kind of confusing). Insurance providers can create partnerships with drug rehabs to accept all of their in-network and out-of-network plans which is something we’ve done before with Emblem Health and Beacon Health Options. Contact your insurance company for in-network providers and out-of-network options.

By reviewing your insurance plan before researching drug rehabs, you’ll be in a better position to select a drug rehab that is covered by your insurance.

Types of Insurance Rally Point Rehab Accepts

We work with many insurances, both as an in-network and out-of-network provider, to help you get the care you need.

Out-of-Network:Although an out-of-network provider isn’t contracted with the insurance company, it can still provide services as long as the plan has out-of-network benefits. We work with most private insurance companies with out-of-network benefits including Ambetter, Anthem, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, ComPsych, Empire Blue Cross, Harvard Pilgrim, Humana, MHNet Behavioral Health, Magellan Behavioral Health, Medical Mutual, Optum, Oxford, POMCO, Tufts, UMR, UPMC, United Health Care, and many others.

What To Do If You Have No Insurance

Not having insurance shouldn’t discourage you from seeking addiction treatment. If you don’t have insurance to cover drug rehab, there are a couple of options available to you.

• Healthcare financing: Similar to financing a loan for a car or home except it’s with healthcare services like addiction treatment, surgery, orthodontics, etc.

• Out of pocket:Paying the costs yourself and/or with the help of someone else.

If you’re interested in healthcare financing or self-payment, please contact us to discuss your options.
